Boyfriend and Popcorn and Spoons, Oh My!

YAY it’s Friday!! Unfortunately I’m not having my normal
Friday date, because Boyfriend is taking his kids to the Grand Canyon for a
week. Remember my fears when Boyfriend went on a business trip? I have a
feeling I’m going to be having some more of those this week.

Last weekend Awhile ago, Boyfriend and I decided to
make some popcorn and watch a movie. And I somehow convinced him (because he
likes to humor me) to try my eating-popcorn-with-a-spoon method. Don’t believe
me? Look:

Red is his.

It went kind of like this:

Don’t believe me? Well, Boyfriend agreed to be interviewed about it! As usual, my comments are in red.

1. Did you REALLY try a popcorn spoon?

Yes, I really did try to eat popcorn with a stupid
spoon. "Try" being the operative word.[I told you guys!!]

3. On a scale of 1 to 10, one being awesome and ten being
OMGSUPERAMAZINGAWESOME, how do you rate it?

Eating popcorn with a spoon is, how can I say this
delicately..... fucking ridiculous! One of the most fruitless, annoying
things I've ever done. And that counts trying to pleasure Gia with a
ping-pong paddle. [That didn’t happen.] I love trying to scoop one kernel at a time
into my mouth. So satisfying! [It lasts longer that way!]

4. What did you think of it?

You're kidding, right?

5. It couldn't have been that bad, right?

Remember the Sucker Punch incident? It was up
there, except for the blood. I'd rather watch "Midnight in Paris"
and "Horrible Bosses," back to back. [Exaggerator.]

6. I thought you said Gia was smart. How did she come up with
such a bad idea?

I was wrong. She's a moron. How about you lay off
the goopy fake butter and just reach your hand (with the nifty opposable thumbs
that were hard won over millions of year of evolution) into the freakin' bowl
and then shovel it into your mouth? Hmmm? How about we save the
spoon for soup or applesauce? Now, good day, Sir![What I’m hearing is,
we need bigger spoons. Got it.]

Maybe a popcorn ladle? At first I thought you misspelled "Dirty Sanchez" then I made the mistake of looking it up. Why does a dirty sanchez need to be escalated to a manchez? WHY?If he's taking his kids to the Grand Canyon, what do you have to worry about? It's not like the Grand Canyon is this irresistible pussy farm. No zombie sluts there. No worries. Great to hear from Boyfriend as always. Dude's hilarious.

I'm going to introduce the kids to popcorn spoons on Family Movie Night - then maybe their snack will last through the previews so I can get a decent nap in before they start whispering and elbowing each other.

Ahhh such a lovely interview! Blog-wise, it's much better that Boyfriend didn't like the spoon experience - if he had enjoyed it, the interview wouldn't have been half as fun.

And I still haven't tried it - but I'm still not so into popcorn so probably won't any time soon. However, as far as my imagination runs, I don't think I would like it very much either.

Popcorn is warm food, not always actual temperature, but in feeling. And spoons are definitely cold... if the popcorn were warm enough to heat the spoon (like when you're eating soup) then I could see how it would work. But that doesn't happen. So instead, you mouth meets warm popcorn sitting on a cold spoon... ugh! Not good.

Blogger seems to be cooperating again - so I'll give this feedback another shot!

What was the idea behind the paddle? (hahahhahha) It's a pun, get it? Behind? Paddle? All right. It's not funny. But you only have to entertain yourself this week, and I have to entertain myself all the time.

I just discovered your blog, thanks to Super Earthling's latest post extravaganza. Your cartoons are totally fun. I don't think I could eat popcorn with a spoon as I prefer the "gorging mouth crammed full just shy of choking method" for eating most food but especially popcorn. I am sorta crazy but VERY manic about getting things done in a hurry. I really have no idea why I haven't won "competative food" contests...well short of the fact I haven't actually entered any.

I have never heard of eating popcorn with a spoon. It is meant to be shoveled into your mouth absentmindedly until you feel sick. I can't believe you don't know that, Gia. Were you raised in a barn? (Albeit, a barn stacked with an unending supply of cutlery.)

I'm trying to decide if "eating popcorn with a spoon" is perhaps a double entendre for something much more risque. I'm quite sure the ping pong incident only confirms this. However it is quite possible you really just meant eating popcorn with a spoon. I have never tried this b/c I usually choke to death on popcorn. I envy the popcorn eaters!! Those darn kernels always get stuck in my teeth or choke me!!

See, now I HAVE to try eating popcorn with a spoon, even though I already know it will end up all over the floor. You make a good case (and anything is better eaten with a spoon). Besides, I already eat my ice cream with those stupid wooden coffee sticks, even through they break every time. This will be an improvement. ;)

Better than trying to eat popcorn with a straw. Although you CAN drink wine with a straw. Furthermore, if you have enough wine, screw the popcorn (well, not literally, those kernels can get pretty scratchy. So I've heard).

I hardly EVER eat ANYTHING with my hands (it's the germaphobia thing). I absolutely CANNOT stand getting anything on my hands. Instead of napkins, I use washcloths. They get more of the yuck off and don't tear from my incessant wiping. Pizza? Fork and knife. Anything that I MUST eat with my hands that might make a mess on them (Popcorn, french fries, burgers/subs, etc.) I use gloves. No joke, gloves. Like the kind doctors wear. You can buy them at any CVS or, if you're like me, and you need them in bulk you can buy em at Sam's Club or Costco. But just to try it, and save a glove, I'm gonna eat popcorn with a spoon. Just to try it.

Very funny site! I definitely have my quota of "naughty words" for my Christian eyes for the year. :-) I love Boyfriend's facial hair - is that stubble or a full on beard, or is it a short curly beard? I must know. I think making my children eat popcorn with a spoon would give me plenty of time to take a well-deserved steaming bubble bath, that long needed nap, and still have time to watch one of my Rutger Hauer movies. Hmm, not a bad idea...
